Why you get Ice-cream headaches

This writeup was originally intended to address some rather bizarre and regrettable misconceptions vomited forth in a now-vanished writeup by an innocent victim of a crippled and mutilated educational system. However, the Powers that Be saw fit to put that gibberish out of its misery and now here I sit, alone and lonely, atop a node I never made. However, the same demented propaganda is now more-coherently espoused by a writeup below mine, so please be so kind as to read that one first and then come back up here so I can show you the error of your newly-acquired ways.

I am grateful for your anticipated cooperation.

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.

Another poor child, brainwashed by secular public "education", rushes in breathlessly to recite the pseudoscientific "lessons" his keepers forced him to memorize. If you believe this nonsense, you'll believe anything, even "evolution".

My dear friends, even a moderate knowledge of the laws of thermodynamics is adequate to show us that "refrigeration" is not within the realm of the possible. Think about it: You put electrical energy into the system, and then you end up with less energy in the system than you started with? Hello?! Where is the energy going? It's an absurdity!

This is a plausible explanation to the layman (me) and I can't quite affirm that it is true. I have to bow to Starke's explanation, however, since my source is a non scientific publication: Stuff Magazine. I apologize for not being able to properly cite this, since I don't have that issue with me.
